[Generalized congenital fibromatosis. A new case report (author's transl)].

The authors report a new case of generalized congenital fibromatosis in a young white girl who presented at birth a sub-cutaneous frontal localization with osteolytic lesions. At three and a half months of age, a complete auriculo-ventricular block was discovered secondary to a myocardial localization and she died of acute respiratory failure without showing early anormal pulmonary radiological lesions. In reviewing ten cases of this generalized congenital form of the osteolytic lesions encountered, and stress the fact that the discrete radiological pulmonary signs that condition the prognosis. The then discuss the utility of distinguishing diffus and generalized forms of congenital fibromatosis.
